Season 2 Review: Series creators/showrunners Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler find their groove in Season 2, incorporating a handful of exciting surprises--both in story and storytelling techniques--at various points throughout the season to keep things fresh, build tension and expose the inner workings of John's brain.

Season 1 Review: Chalk up another forceful punch with Bloodline, a riveting, superbly cast slow-burn family drama set between the oceanfront paradise and the murky mangrove swamps of the Florida Keys. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The show doles out morsels of information slowly, like a trail of bread crumbs, which makes for a satisfying viewing experience and feeds your curiosity while making you question other aspects even more. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's little urgency to the storytelling, which is as slow-paced and easy-breezy as lying in a hammock strung between two palm trees on a Key West beach. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The final episode contains clues and answers to mysteries that, when the season ends and you think about it, could easily have been introduced in the first or second episode without any diminishment of suspense--indeed, would probably have resulted in a pleasing increase in suspense. As a languid mood piece, Bloodline is one pleasantly decadent binge. And as I said, Chandler and Cardellini are particularly effective. Read full review

Season 3 Review: There are a few coincidences in the final hours that make the plotting strain credulity, and the second-to-the-last episode feels as though a big chunk of it was cut and pasted from previous seasons and leftover editing-room footage in order to reach the assigned 10 hours. Lumbering along, dragging family history along in a way that slows down its thriller storytelling, Bloodline contains too many instances of a character saying some variation on the line, “When’s it going to end?” or “How did we get here?” Read full review

Season 2 Review: The first new episode of season two--which takes place just a day after the first season's actions--seemed exponentially long, which was not a good sign. Getting through a second one was also a chore but had enough ridiculous signs of where Bloodline was going this time to be enough evidence to bail right then and there. Read full review

So so well done, wish Netflix advertised some of these shows a bit better. This is a fantastic series. Great cast, no weak link. Acting is soooo believable that you forget you are watching tv, great cinematography, camera shots and movements just create a realistic shots, making me feel likeSo so well done, wish Netflix advertised some of these shows a bit better. This is a fantastic series. Great cast, no weak link. Acting is soooo believable that you forget you are watching tv, great cinematography, camera shots and movements just create a realistic shots, making me feel like you are there right next to the actors watching them interact.
Great writing, slow and steady story telling which allows the character buildup, tension also builds up slowly. I won’t spoil it, let’s just say I am going to rewatch just to appreciate the acting!!! Must must watch series… Expand
